IHS, the leading global source of information and analysis, has launched IHS Kingdom 2016.1, the latest release of its industry leading geoscience software. This release provides a dramatic leap forward with Kingdom by providing IHS customers with new compelling geological functionality on an enterprise scalable platform.

IHS Kingdom is a Microsoft Windows-based geoscience software interpretation tool used by thousands of geoscientists in more than 100 countries to evaluate potential oil and gas reservoirs and plan field development. This major release provides a new velocity modeling feature designed to significantly increase workflow efficiency since it is built into the interpretation environment and automatically integrates with commonly used data, such as horizons and well tops. This feature allows interpreters to leverage this data to build and maintain a virtual velocity model to convert data from time to depth in a fraction of the time when compared to current practices.
